+Output:
+Hash containing group information as key=values for (a), and
+hash of hashes for (b)
+
+Keys (in two categories):
+(a) groupname, creator, creation, modified, startdate,enddate.
+Corresponding values are name of the group, creator of the group
+(username:domain), UNIX time for date group was created, and
+settings were last modified, and default start and end access
+times for group members.
+
+(b) functions returned in hash of hashes.
+Outer hash key is functions.
+Inner hash keys are chat,discussion,email,files,homepage,roster.
+Corresponding values are either on or off, depending on
+whether this type of functionality is available for the group.

+4. reference to array of permissible roles
+5. reference to array of section restrictions (optional)
